I think that's a kinda old school thing..A John who got called Ian - possibly from Iain being the Gaelic for John - was Ian McColl (not Ian McCall who came later). Ian McMillan was the same I think.
My dad and both his brothers are/were the same. Always refer to themselves by their middle name .I think that's a kinda old school thing..
My dad's name was John, but in the family he was always called Iain, because there were a few other John's & it distinguished.
No idea why they never just thought of another name in the 1st place lol.
Would make sense, his real name is William.Sandy Jardine’s family apparently called him Billy
Showing your age there, do they still get thatThought it was Warninks.
